Mike-R34GT-T Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hey guys, i have recently been defected for having after market "DRIFT" bucket seats in my R34. I was wondering if s15 seats would fit into the car as i can the front seats off a mate, or if you have any other ideas for seats that would pass the inspection, and fit into the r34? Cheers Mike.

Not sure if they fit, best option is to borrow some standard R34 seats. Which Drift seats did you get done for? Pics? I was under the impression that they were ADR approved?

Frosty Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 yeah if they are DRIFT seats they are ADR approved and thus not defectable. S series seat rails are slighly shorter on 1 hole! other 3 will bolt up i believe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/425564-bucket-seat-defect-will-s15-seats-fit-into-r34/#findComment-6857974 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP please get pics and then if that is the only defect you received then i would be fighting it! +1 on the bottom of the seat will be the ADR tag or underneathe, if they are genuine then fight it and forget about the defect! if in NSW call SDRO and the ombudsman and fight! cost you a little time but we need to stand against this b/s all the time Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/425564-bucket-seat-defect-will-s15-seats-fit-into-r34/#findComment-6857984 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well get the pod filter and BOV sorted out, that is asking for trouble and not really doing you any favours in terms of performance gains!

Frosty Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 thats your call man in the end but given if they are you should be right to go through inspection! just ensure you tell/show them they meet standards Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/425564-bucket-seat-defect-will-s15-seats-fit-into-r34/#findComment-6858025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
